What can cause indicators to stop working?

It is usually located under the driver's side of the dash, and is wired in-line with the turn signal lever and hazard switch buttons.
Is there a fuse for turn signals?
Like all of the lights on and in a vehicle, turn signals rely on a fuse. When the fuse blows, electric power to the turn signals will be shut off entirely. Burnt out bulbs: As with all light bulbs, turn signal lights can burn out and die.
Why do my hazard lights work but my turn signals don t?
Turn signals only work when the ignition is on; hazard lights work whether the ignition is on or not. The two systems have separate power supplies, so they have separate fuses.
